The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.

A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.

Design Services

Whether developing a leading-edge HDTV system, a high-performance computing system, or a networking device, Cadence® Design Services technology experts in design centers around the world are there to help you achieve first-pass silicon success when implementing your high-end designs. Our designers collaborate closely with you to optimize your designs in efficient silicon without compromising performance or schedule goals.

Cadence Design Services provides a range of risk mitigation options that span the entire development and implementation of complex SoC design projects:

Turnkey Design

You can outsource any aspect of your design to our experienced team. We help you break through your design challenges by providing leading-edge solutions that speed advanced IC and system designs into volume production.

Assisted Design Collaboration

Cadence technology experts become an extension of your design team, providing key technical capabilities both onsite and remotely though a unique collaboration infrastructure.

PDK Development

In custom IC design, the quality and richness of a process design kit (PDK) makes all the difference in creating a truly differentiated product. Our PDK development services provide you with a cost-effective alternative to internal development, make available the deep experience of our PDK development team, and add features and extra checks to your designs.

ARM Core Hardening

Cadence Design Services engineers have extensive experience hardening ARM cores, including the latest Cortex®-A series and Cortex-M series, in advanced nodes including 16nm and 10nm. We work with your team to set power, performance, and area (PPA) targets depending on the application, and then implement the core, providing signoff-ready views for integration into your SoC.
